Well, we managed to sneak a great weather day between two big storms, and had a great event. Tim Attaway, our regular CD was sick, but as usual the crew stepped up and got it done. Special thanks to Ray Fulks, Pedro Bratuas, Steve Manganeli, and Steve Nelson for their efforts.
I would also like the that the Szeubers for coming down to fly with us. Jeff showed us how to do precision right, and as you can see from the pictures, put on a noon time freestyle that blew the crowds mind. Music and all! Thanks Jeff! Mat promises to fly next time. Judging from the crowd reaction, I think a noon time freestyle contest may become part of future events.
Although today was pretty nice, it has been raining a lot lately, so the field was basically a muddy swamp. However, there was a small, high spot that was dry and firm enough to land and take off on. If you got outside this small area, your plane sank to the wheel pants, nosed over, and got real muddy. It was more like landing on the deck of a carrier, you had to hit the spot a do a very short roll out. Most people did a good job, and hit the two wire by coming in with a high angle of attack, and very slow. Those that didn't, made a big mess. In either case, it was entertaining to watch the landings, and cheers went up after each one.
I would also like to thank the sponsors who donated great prizes.
